Tire and Wheel fitment Q&A

KNYFE · 04-20-2006, 08:02 PM

Question about rears...

Is 265/35/18 too big of a tire for an 18x9 rim? Will that stick out alot on the back wheels?

I'm planning those with 25 or 35/35/18 for my front 18x8's.

So basically, is 265 too wide for rears?

I got 265/40 17 on the back of my 90 Turbo on '94 TT wheels. No problems since they're correct offset. I've seen people with 275/40 in the back also.

I have stock size yokohama tires, came with the car (215/60/16) and the car still handles great, better than my aunts 98 trans am....I cant wait to try it when i get new wheels, 17x8 front and 17x9 rear and 235/275 dunlop sp tires. Does anyone have fitment issues with wheels this big and stock or lowered ride height? they look like theyll fit, But just want to be sure. Theres a lot of extra room under there

I have stock rims with Goodyear Eagles that were on the car when I got it. I want to replace them with Falkens or Toyos. And maybe get some 16 or 17 inch rims.
